Trump, Putin speak via phone for second consecutive day

By Clyde Hughes

April 10 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke via phone for the second consecutive day Friday as the two world leaders talked about oil production and the coronavirus pandemic.

The White House said Trump and Putin discussed ways to contain COVID-19, the local energy market likely dealing with the OPEC-Plus meeting this week and other "bilateral and global issues."

OPEC-Plus and Russia came to a preliminary agreement to slash oil production by 10 million barrels per day for two months, eventually lessening that reduction to 6 million per day by January. The deal still needs to win approval by member Mexico.

The Kremlin said the two discussed cooperation in space but did not go into detail.

Is he telling Donald how to handle the crisis? Sure seems that Trump's actions to date dovetail nicely with Putin's goal to destroy this country.

and run the stock market up, which is all IQ45 cares about. He's also telling Trump he'll have his back during the election, just as he did in 2016.

Speaks directly and freely to our adversary, not one, but two days consecutively?

No transcript, no recording and now press corps to know what was discussed. WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED TO OUR GREAT NATION?????

for stealing the 2020 election, no doubt. This one might be somewhat more difficult for them.

They also discussed how he will spend the 500 billion and laughed that not one dime would be repaid so he could raid SS & Medicare and end those programs, in essence completing a major transfer of wealth to the oligarchs. I bet they had a huge laugh.
